The location was convenient, near the elizabeth line station. It made getting around easy. the room was clean, and the white cotton bedding felt fresh and comfortable. the staff at reception were really polite and helpful, assisting me with directions and local information. i appreciated the overall good value for the money.
i found that the walls needed painting. it detracted slightly from the otherwise pleasant appearance.

Adequate Stay with Minor Issues

friendly staffdaily cleaningattached kitchensmall windowpadlock inconveniencesingle key
The staff was helpful and friendly . My room was cleaned every day, which I appreciated. There was also plenty of space in the Quadruple Room, and it had an attached kitchen, a nice bonus.
The room lacked air conditioning or a fan, and the window was small. I had to wait outside for someone to remove the padlock from the car park gate, it was inconvenient. I was only allowed one key, even though there were two guests.
